Humboldt Crab Opener - 11/6/10

Come 10PM this Friday, 11/5 I plan to be down at the mouth of the Eel preparing my traps and rings for midnight deployment.  Rain or shine, wind or not - it's time to crab.

I talked to cajun yesterday and he will try to make it - Domenic should be there too.  It would be cool to have a bunch of us far-northern NCKAer's get together for a local mini-derby.  Farther-southern bro's welcome too.  

good luck out there. I got my gear piled an ready for opener

In Seattle for training. Stay safe and heavy pots.

Not sure if I'll make it out for midnight but if not I'll be out there for sure after first light. 

I'll be there for the fun! I have three other people talking about going. I will post as I get the definite responses.

Right on, Greg.  Counting down the days/nights.   

Got a secret new bait from a friend that he calls crabcrack I'll be bringing for us to use.

Domenic holds the title for best crab bait, so we'll see how the competition goes.  I will of course use whatever is getting them!   

Got two others going so far, Reed and Mike from my store. Waiting for replies from others.

I can't wait to get on the water!

Me too, Greg.  Dom and I were just talking - if the Eel doesn't come down significantly this week we may relocate to the bay near King Salmon for the opener.

Eel's coming down nicely, wind is forecast light, we're on!   

Just got glow sticks and a new headlamp. Let me know if you need me to pick anything up.
